But there is so much damage to the sides of the carriage that bits literally were popping out. It's not worth it considering the overall condition, I'll wait to find one in the earlier style and make sure it gets to me safe!Nick Belandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05280294152270101017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877281529217716593.post-10416437586710760642013-07-04T11:06:54.238-07:002013-07-04T11:06:54.238-07:00oh, and very sad about your Signature 511 - I hope...oh, and very sad about your Signature 511 - I hope you made the seller refund your money.

I think that's the one that Ryan painted first mint green and more recently watermelon pink. The fact that it's stayed in constant rotation in the classroom stable for 2 years testifies mightily to this model's durability - the usually very reliable and highly regarded Smith-Coronas tend to vanish into the "to be fixed" pile pretty quickly under the constant stress of the CTP workload. :DTedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16774432656602082311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877281529217716593.post-62460719828674065112013-07-04T08:27:47.761-07:002013-07-04T08:27:47.761-07:00Previously I'd have looked down on anything th...Previously I'd have looked down on anything this modern but - apart from the decal - it looks like it has Olympia lifeblood flowing through its veins.
